FAQs

No, the HKM Double Bridle -Grace- does not include bits; they must be purchased separately.
Can I remove the browband easily?
Yes, the browband is designed with a snap fastener system, allowing you to swap it out or remove it for cleaning without disassembling the entire bridle.
What is the width of the reins included?
The set includes 16 mm wide flat-stitched snaffle reins and 12 mm wide double bridle reins.
Is this suitable for everyday training?
Yes, the durable construction and anatomical padding make it suitable for both daily training and competition use.
How should I clean the stainless steel fittings?
Use a soft cloth to polish the stainless steel. Avoid using abrasive sponges that could scratch the finish.
Troubleshooting
Bridle feels stiff or dry
Apply a generous layer of leather oil or balsam and allow it to absorb fully before the next use.
Browband stones look dull
Gently clean the stones with a soft, dry cloth; avoid using harsh leather cleaners or oils directly on the stones.
Hooks are difficult to open
Ensure no dirt or leather debris is trapped in the hook mechanism; use a tiny drop of lubricant if the metal sticks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before using the bridle for the first time, ensure all leather components are treated with a high-quality leather conditioner to preserve their suppleness. To set up, attach your chosen bits using the integrated bridle hooks. The Swedish-style noseband should be adjusted to allow for adequate breathing and comfort; it should not be overtightened. After every ride, wipe down the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove sweat and dirt, as these can degrade the material over time. Store the bridle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or the stones on the browband from becoming loose.
